Kalolaine Taukei‘aho

2. Introduction Increase in bacteria infection Antibiotic/Resistance
Traditional use of plants all over the world.
Africa
Eastern Zaire
Palestine

3. Plants as new source of anti-infective agents.
Higher plants toxic
Carica papaya edible to both human and animal
No toxicity to animal cells
Nothing is known about the bacteria inhibiting effects of C. papaya

4. Medicinal Use of Carica papaya seeds in some countries
Vermifuge
Cough or stomach ache
Promote abortion, powerful emmenagogue.

5. Preliminary Studies on Carica papaya seeds
Mathur et al. (1982)
Albino rats
Embrocidal agent
Osato et al. (1999)
Highest enzyme activity
Bacteriostatic properties
Bio-normalizer
Inexpensive clinical agent

6. Purpose
This study focuses on the antimicrobial properties of ripe Carica papaya seed extract against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

7. Materials and Methods Laie Gold/BYU-H Crude extracts of papaya seeds
Kirby-Bauer method
Controls
Tetracycline
Blank disk
Distilled water disk
50% ethanol disk
Bacteria
